Learning and revision

Our support helps you understand the standard of Cambridge exams and prepare your students effectively. These materials are available from our Resource centre.

Learner guides

Our Learner Guides introduce students to Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level and Cambridge International AS & A Level courses. They also explain how they will be assessed. By the end of each guide, students will:

have an overview of the course and what they will learn

understand the structure of the assessment

know how to show their skills to the best of their ability

understand how to reflect on their own learning.

The Learner Guides also help students plan and monitor their revision as they;

outline basic revision skills

include example revision planners

provide top revision techniques and checklists

Past papers and mark schemes

Past papers help your students become familiar with exam requirements and command words in questions. The mark schemes explain how to answer questions to meet assessment objectives.

Example candidate responses

These booklets use examples of candidates’ work to show how different levels of performance (high, middle and low) relate to the subject’s curriculum and assessment objectives.

They will help you understand the standard required to achieve marks, beyond the guidance of the mark scheme.
